Images Disappeared in Editor

    Hi Guys

    I am having a bizarre issue where all the images on a site I am building have completely disappeared in the editor, they are fine on the front end.

    I have tried removing CSS, deactivating plugins, removing functions, disabling elements, disabling the font library extension and attempting to add images again but nothing appears to work.

    The only way I can get them to display is by switching themes from GeneratePress to Twenty Twenty-Five or similar.

    I would appreciate it if you could take a look please as I am hitting a brick wall with this one.

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers

    Gary

    Hi Gary,

    I have just logged in to your site and all images are visible, for example I can see all images loaded when viewing the homepage in the block editor. Can you advise if I am missing something?

    Just checked in Chrome and I can see them too, can you check in Safari please?

    I can see the issue in Safari.

    But I think it’s a Safari issue; it does not seem to show any images in the editor in PHP-based themes, including GP, Twenty Twenty-One, and Astra.

    I recommend using Chrome instead.

    It’s not a massive issue for me Ying, it just wasn’t like that until the latest update to GenerateBlocks. I know this because today I updated a local version to see what would happen and now that’s broken too.

    So the issue is caused by Woocommerce plugin; they added this CSS, which hides GB’s image in the editor:

    .wp-block {
    content: "";
}

    Try this PHP snippet to override Woocommerce’s CSS:

    add_filter( 'block_editor_settings_all', function( $editor_settings ) {
	$css = '.wp-block {content: unset;}';
	$editor_settings['styles'][] = [ 'css' => $css ];

    return $editor_settings;
} );

    Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

    Hi Ying

    This worked great thank you, the weird thing is it does not effect all my WooCommerce sites.

    Cheers
